Looking at contemporary film and television, this book explores how
popular genres frame our understanding of on-screen performance. It
brings together ground-breaking and inspiring work on this topic
from both renowned and newer academics in the field. Previous
studies of screen performance have tended to fix upon star actors,
directors, or programme makers, or they have concentrated upon
particular training and acting styles. Moving outside of these
confines, this book provides a truly interdisciplinary account of
performance in film and television and examines a much neglected
area in our understanding of how popular genres and performance
intersect on screen. Each chapter concentrates upon a particular
genre or draws upon generic case studies in examining the
significance of screen performance. Individual chapters examine
contemporary film noir, horror, the biopic, drama-documentary, the
western, science fiction, comedy performance in 'spoof news'
programmes and the television 'sit com' and popular Bollywood
films.
